TAMING OF THE SHREW: Grumio (Cyril Cusack) and Hortensio (Victor Spinetti) both long to marry the same beautiful young woman. Unfortunately, her wealthy father (Michael Hordern) will not let his daughter marry, unless her hot-tempered sister, Katherina (Elizabeth Taylor), also has a suitor. Luckily, the slovenly Petruchio (Richard Burton) is looking for an affluent woman to marry, so Grumio and Hortensio pay him to try to woo the extremely volatile Katherina. THE ART OF LOVE: Having failed to establish himself as a painter in Paris, Paul Sloane (Dick Van Dyke) decides to return home to his wealthy girlfriend, Laurie Gibson (Angie Dickinson). His roommate, Casey Barnett (James Garner), argues that Paul should fake his own suicide, which will make his paintings much more popular. With Paul presumably dead, demand for his work soars. When Casey grows wealthy selling it off and begins courting Laurie, an angry, Paul frames his deceitful friend for his murder. CHANGE OF HABIT: Dr John Carpenter (Elvis Presley) takes the job of running a health centre in a low-income district. He enlists three women to help out who--unbeknownst to him--are actually nuns in street clothes. The church wants to improve the neighbourhood but fears that nuns in full habit would not be well received. Unaware of her unavailability, John falls for Sister Michelle (Mary Tyler Moore), serenading her with his guitar--which, luckily for him, effectively wears away at her religious resolve.

David assumes Harry is going after his secretary, Carol (Stella Stevens) and he quickly charms her into a relationship.

Hogan's gangster partners "persuade him to enlist and keep an eye on the fighter, who is subsequently declared psychologically unfit for the Army. Enter Herbet Tuttle, a draftee eager to have Hogan turn him into a fighter. Hogan Reluctantly agrees only after he discovers Tuttle's aunt is the beautiful singer at a nightclub. From then on it's a case of stringing Tuttle along while trying to get close to his aunt. To further complicate Hogan's life there is a rulebook Military Police Officer who tries to squish the shenanigans.
